I was not only in the described tv market, but actually smack dab in the middle of the storm path in suburban Columbus.

It was indeed a warning, but there wasn't a touchdown or sighted tornado but rather a tight thunderstorm that started showing rotation. The neighboring county was in T-warning for some time while the local CBS affiliate stayed with the game, and our county was in T-warning for a few mins too until they finally pulled the plug for weather preemption (the other local affiliates had been in meteorologist-nirvana preemption for awhile). It wasn't an EAS alert, just the normal preemption. But yea, they had tech difficulties and showed a blank green or black screen for about 5 mins - right at the end of the game. Idiotic.

Split screen, people.
